If the TESL program is divided into two parts (Part 1 & Part 2; Stream 1 & Stream 2; or Certificate Level & Diploma Level), TESL Ontario requires the completion of both parts.

The terms used in the TESL program titles (e. g., TESL, TESOL, TEFL, post-graduate, certificate, diploma, stream, and CERTESL) are based on each training provider's internal guidelines and preferences. The differences in TESL program titles do not affect the duration, content, or quality of the required TESL training.

TESL program graduates who meet the degree and English language proficiency requirements of TESL Ontario accreditation and apply for the TESL Ontario accredited membership are granted the OCELT professional designation, the TESL Ontario Certificate of Accreditation, and the international ICTEAL Certificate.
